ChatAlerts

ChatAlerts allows you to select which docked ChatFrames will alert you when they have new activity.

ChatFrame tabs can have specific message-type filters set on them from the default UI. ChatAlerts gives you the option to listen for certain message types - when these message types are triggered, the appropriate tab will begin flashing to alert you to new activity.

Features

Chat tabs will continue to flash until activated.

Chat tabs can be set to always show.

Chat tab borders can be removed.

Inactive chat tab names can be set to not fade.

Color picker for Active, Inactive, and Alert chat tab fonts.

Four different alert flash textures to choose from.

The alert flash can be disabled, in favor of using a different font color for the tab name.

-- 4.1.0-1.3.0

- Fixed errors which caused the options frame to not display.

-- 4.0.3-1.2.8
